The leaders of the 70 organisations on Friday said that they
would sit for a strike in Delhi from December 9. They were addressing a press
conference at the office of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) in Guwahati.

The leaders of the organisations said that they would hold
the strike in front of Sansad Bhawan in protest against BJP government’s move.
They said that BJP government has betrayed the people of Assam.

They also voiced against privatisation of the oil and gas
fields. “Delhi should reject their decision of selling oil fields to private
sector.” They also said that Delhi should also refrain from their decisions
favouring capitalists.

The leaders also expressed their grief towards the demise of
Gyanendra Rajkhowa, who was shot dead by police during panchayat election in
Golaghat. They demanded compensation from the DC.
